was in the Mineral Point High
School. immediately opposite the
Rock School, young Drinkall, who
seemed to be waiting for them, was
again encountered, and as the party
passed him he again flung out an
insulting remark, John Rindlaub
Immediately turned aud slapped him

stabbed him in the arm with q knife

an ugly aud dangerous wound. The
knife was taken from him and he
was about to be dealt with as he de-

and the fellow made his way home.
The case is peculiar one as il
seems that our city laws are power
less to prosecute the fellow even on
charge Of disorderly conduct. We
have heretofore on account Of the
feelings of the parents been very

WISCONSIN LEAD MINES.
A correspondent of the Tazewell
(Illinois) Telegraph, relates the fol-
lowing noble instance of individual
enterprise in citizen Of this Terri
tory:
do not remember to have ever
been more Interested than | was this
morning, on hearing described the
great excavation made for lead ore
in the Territory of Wisconsin. The
description was made in person by
Mr.. Kirkpatrick, the intelligent and
enterprising proprietor aud inisher
of this vast undertaking,
The excavation which is four feet
wide and six feet in depth, through
solid rock, was commenced about
three years since, in the town Of
Dodgevllle, In the said Territory,
and was completed in December last.
II runs nearly half mile, aud its
course passes under the Pichdtotic
river. The excavation at the great
est depth is go feet under the surface
of the earth aud 30 feet below the
bottom of the river. The Plckatolic
is a tributary of Rock river, aud
emptes into this river about so miles
above its mouth. Dodgeville is sit
uated on the Pickatollc, 90 miles
above its junction with Rock river,
and about 25 above steamboat navl-
gatiou. This hercuean task was
performed entirety By candle light,
and cost $4,000. IL has, however,
succeeded more than equal to Mr..
Kirkpaariek's most sauguine expec-
tations, inexhaustible quantities Of
rich ore have already been found,
many Of the veins being more than
10 feet thick. He has already 600, :
600 lbs. of the ore, which at the
common price of S25 a thousand
exceed, the cost Of the work IS, 900.
Mr.. kirkpatrick commenced this
undertaking from the suggestions of
the Indians and from his own OBJ
servation, which led him to believe
that the bodies of ore increased in
dimensions as they increased in
depth, and that the veins seemed TO
have tendency to run under the
water courses in that part of the
mining region.
The interchangeable industry ana
untiring resolution of Mr.. K,rkpat.

Obituary.

s.Died at his residence on January
80, at $50 A. NJ, Clarence E. Rice In
the thirty-eighth year of his age. He
was born in Millville, Grant County,
Wisconsin, came to this state and town
in 1876. For the first few years he
kept grocery store which he sold out
to j. NJ. Massey. In October, 1879, he
married Miss b. NJ. Williams. During
the last two years he has filled the
office of book-keeper in Sedgwick City
bank. Last June his health began to
fail; December %, he was carried
home sick from the bank; January l,
his illness became serious and he never
rallied; he suffered greatly, but never
was heard TO complain; he was a good
citizen and a valued member of the
school board. In summing up his char
acter we may say that as man he was
esteemed, as neighbor obliging, as a
son dutiful, as father affectionate.
His remains were laid 10 resi- in Hillside
cemetry. The funeral services were
conducted at his residence by Rev. III.
s. Payne, the service of the [. O. O. +.
was rendered at the grave in presence
of large number of brethren and
friends, who had braved the intense
cold to render this last honor to his re-
mains. Mr.. Rice leaves widow and
three little boys to mourn his loss, who
have the sympathy of this entire COM
munity."
